More about Ashley Baluster...
The Ashley Baluster is a balanced spindle with a versatile design that makes it a flexible addition to many exteriors. The Ashley Baluster features an elegant form defined by subtle contours and classic character. Thick bands of molding add detail to the design of the Ashley Baluster.
The Ashley Baluster is wonderfully traditional in appearance, but crafted in urethane, an excellent material for exterior applications. High-density polyurethane resists the warping, cracking peeling and decay that can lead to upkeep and the replacement of older balusters crafted in wood. The 5" Ashley Balustrade System will remain virtually maintenance-free and beautiful through the years.
When spacing the Ashley Baluster within lengths of balustrade, observe the 4" ball space rule, which allows for maximum center-to-center placement while not permitting objects of 4" in width or more to pass through spaces between balusters at any point along the baluster’s length. When installed with reinforced rails, newels and rail support blocks, and the 4" ball space rule, the 5" Ashley Balustrade System meets building and safety codes. A variety of trim and accessories are available to give the 5" Ashley Balustrade System a complete and detailed appearance.
